Science Fari Final Report for Oven Baked Ice Cream

Question
If I put ice cream to bake in an oven, will the egg white and sugar mixture insulate it well enough so it won’t melt? Hypothesis
If I put the ice cream into the egg white mixture and heat it up in the oven at 260°, it will not melt because of the insulation. Variables
Independent VariablesThe independent variables are those that are changed throughout the experiment. In my experiment I am going to change the amount of egg white mixture on the ice cream (in my first experiment I put very little and the experiment didn’t work out). I will also be changing the type of ice cream. This will not affect the experiment but it will change the taste. Dependent Variable

The dependent variable is the one that is measured during the experiment. I will be measuring/observing the texture and outcome of the ice cream after it has been baked in the oven. Controlled Variables

The controlled variables are the ones that you try to keep constant throughout your experiment so that they don’t affect your experiment. I will be keeping the temperature of the oven the same and the type of cookie that I place the ice cream on. Background Research

Ice cream usually melts when exposed to heat. This is an observable physical change. But could there be a way to keep it in tact without letting it melt? In fact, there is a way! Americans eat this as a treat and call it “Baked Alaska”. In effect it is ice cream covered in an egg white mixture put into an oven. Why doesn’t it melt? The egg whites mixture acts as an insulator and keeps the ice cream cool. The air bubbles slow down the penetration of heat from the outside. Once baked, the dessert is hot on the outside and freezing on the inside. If I put the bowl of ice cream into the egg white mixture and then on the cookie and put it into the oven at 260 degrees Celsius, will it melt or will it stay intact because of the insulation?

Oven baked ice cream isn’t an experiment like mixing metals with acids. It’s actually a dessert. The name it was given is “Baked Alaska”. The name “Baked Alaska” comes from Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City in 1876, and was created in honor of the newly acquired territory of Alaska. It is basically hard ice cream on a bed of sponge cake. The process is simple; this 'cake' is kept in the freezer until serving time, when it is placed in a very hot oven, just long enough to brown the meringue. Baked Alaska and similar desserts use the insulating properties of the trapped air in the cellular structure of the foams (the meringue and sponge cake) which keeps the heat from reaching the ice cream. Early versions of this dessert consisted of ice cream covered in a very hot pastry crust. (Ehler, 1990-2012)

Since ice cream doesn't really leave a trace like pots or weapons, there is not much history about ice cream. It is said that people living in places in prehistoric times where snow and ice were abundant made themselves a sort of “sorbet” by adding fruits to give the ice a flavor. Also, some left over ice houses, where ice was produced, have been found. Ice houses are known to have existed as early as 2,000 B.C. in Mesopotamia. They were built by rich Mesopotamians. Also, some Egyptian Pharaohs ordered ice from the colder regions to be shipped into Egypt. A lot later on, the Arabs began using syrup and sugar instead of honey. In the 10th century B.C., ice cream was sold in all major Arab cities. The Chinese also picked up the use of ice cream, and it began to be a popular treat in the hot months of the year. (Zinger, 2012)

Ancient people first began cooking on open fires. The cooking fires were put on the ground and later simple brick constructions were used to hold the wood. Simple ovens were used by the ancient Greeks for making bread and other baked goods. By the middle ages, taller brick and cement fireplaces, often with chimneys, were being built. The food to be cooked was...

The hypothesis was correct because each solvent removed each stain for the reason predicted. The results were quiet accurate and if the experiment were to be repeated they should be similar. The theory was indeed right. Adding equal amounts of each solvent would have benefited the experiment. This would have possibly made the observations different as well as the end result.
Conclusion: The experiment approved my hypothesis. The aim was to design an experiment that to test which type of solvent was best for getting rid of each stain, it was achieved. I observed the results and in the end came to the final thought that:

...Have you ever bakedicecream?
Make a cool tasty treat in a hot oven
What you need:
* 3 large eggs
* 175g caster sugar
* 3 scoops of vanilla icecream
* 3 large cookies
* Foil
* Baking tray
* Mixing bowl
* Hand mixer
* Spoon
How to:
Ask an adult for help with the oven and making the meringue.
1. Preheat the oven to 240 degrees Celsius.
2. To make the meringue, first separate the eggs. Put the three egg whites in a mixing bowl and whisk using a hand mixer. Once the egg whites stand in stiff peaks, add in the sugar a tablespoon at a time and continue to whisk until the all the sugar is mixed in.
3. Cover a baking tray in foil.
4. Put the cookies on the foil. Put a scoop of icecream on top of each cookie.
5. Cover each cookie and the icecream completely with meringue.
6. Put the baking tray in the oven for around five minutes, until the meringue is golden brown.
7. Put them on a plate and eat them up!
Is the icecream still cold? What do you think keeps the icecream cold even though it's been in a hot oven for five minutes?
What's happening:
Why didn't the icecream melt? The secret is the meringue! Insulation keeps hot things...

Barn Burning
At the end of the 19th Century, the southern part of the United States of America suffers considerably. The Great Depression, the inter- class conflicts, the socio- economic turmoil, and the sharecropping structure are among things that can push one with a villain’s core to commit cruel actions. The setting of William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” demonstrates a vivid picture of life in the south during that period of time. Faulkner’s short story portrays the struggle of an abused ten year old boy, Colonel Sartoris Snopes (Sarty), son of Abner Snopes, an emotionless and malicious man known best in ruining others’ property. Sarty is confronted with the dilemma of choice between loyalty to his family and loyalty to principle and integrity. [A rich, vivid description of the setting]
In Sarty’s world violence seems to be a fundamental factor of manhood. Abner Snopes, his father, a thoughtless force of violence and destruction is unethical and cold without any regard for others and their property. His sadism is nourished by envy and anger. Snopes’ need for revenge is borne of his sense of inferiority and lack of power and gradual emasculation by the depressing sharecropping structure. Sarty’s choice is either being loyal to his father, or doing what his guts tell him to do. In his mind there is no doubt that it is completely immoral of his father to burn people’s barns, but on the other hand Snopes...

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Unilever Australia Ltd remained as the leading player in 2014, with 31% value share. Its share declined
marginally in recent years, particularly in bulk dairy icecream where it failed to produce an attractive
premium brand to compete against Australasian Food Group’s Connoisseur brand. Instead the Streets
brand appeals to older demographics who desire a simple traditional icecream, an appeal that is gradually
slipping. Unilever ranked third in bulk dairy icecream, whereas it led multi-pack dairy icecream and
single portion dairy icecream, dominating the latter with 62% value share, much of which comes from the
Magnum brand.

...apart, we believed gave us a more accurate answer. If the chairs moved each time we switched the noodles all of our data would be different because it would have more force on one side of the noodle than the other.
The possible explanations we could give for our findings was that we evaluated our lab, making sure there were no errors. My group and I did that by doing trials, and making sure to read the procedures word by word. We assumed that angel hair would be best at first because of how bendy it was but then thought about it going with the fettuchini noodle as the strongest. to better the expirement i think we should've taped the tape to the tip of the chair no the end of the noodle. This expirement can be used in the real world for a science teacher or a regular person trying to learn how the pull of gravity works and the difference between mass and weight.
